What an oddly priced and speced EV from Nissan. I'm not quite sure why Nissan decided to take the Leaf upmarket when it was the starter EV for those who didn't want to spend too much. It looks like they want to compete with the Toyota BZ4X and Chevy Blazer EV. Things like the glass roof and flush door handles don't make sense for the Leaf. It appears to support NACS so it at least has that going.

Interesting design choices Nissan. We'll see how it plays out. Personally, Nissan's ethos and design philosophy don't appeal to me.

New Leaf seems solid. Price is decent.

Tesla is struggling hard with customer relations right now, and their new Y is considerably more expensive than the Leaf.

That being said, I’d bet my life more Ys are sold than Leafs (leaves?) in the next year.

Just found out this leaf will NOT be built in US. Last one was built in Smyrna plant.

Nissan should "truckify" the Leaf platform to compete with Slate, but its Nissan so scratch that idea.
